Amarillo police investigating bank robbery

A man took off with an undisclosed amount of money after a robbery Wednesday morning at the Bank of America at 3601 S. Washington St., Amarillo police said.

About 10 a.m., officers responded to a hold-up alarm at the bank, where a man with a pistol handle visible in the front pocket of his jeans had handed the teller a note demanding money.

The suspect was described as a white man in his 30s or 40s, wearing blue jeans and brown work boots. He left the scene and headed north on Interstate 27 in a light blue vehicle with Oklahoma license plates, officers said.
